The footsteps were messy, and more than one person came in.

Gu Li had already woken up completely, and through the dim moonlight that came in through the door, she saw five figures, and heard someone whisper in a panic, "What kind of place is this?"

However, no one responded, and the door was closed again, and the sound of locks was heard outside.

Gu Li didn't know who came in, and was he imprisoned here like them?

It was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.

Faced with the unknown situation, Gu Li couldn't help but lift her heart, and the whole person became nervous.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out in the darkness and wrapped her hand in the palm of her hand.

She could feel a slight chill in his fingertips. But being held by him, she felt that her heart was instantly steady.

The few people who had just been brought in were whispering, both men and women, all worried about being in prison at the moment.

Yan Qing was still holding Gu Li's hand, and asked in a gentle and calm voice, "Where are you from?" ”

His voice fell, and the few people who had just come in did not answer, obviously stunned, unexpectedly that there were still people being held here before them.

"We're all from Yangcheng." Someone replied.

Yan Qingying made peace and said, "We are from Nanzhou." ”

There was a smile in his calm voice, as if he was smiling and greeting someone, not trapped in this small house.

They are not from the same place as these people, but they are not far away, and Yangcheng is also a small border town in Nanyun Country.

In this way, the Gaochang people not only captured the small city where they were located, but also other places.

As for Yundu, it is also in danger at the moment.

Yan Qing communicated with those people a few more words and told them about each other's conditions.

Gu Li's hand was still held in the palm of his hand, and at this moment, the sweat in his palm disappeared.

She slept beside him for a while, and woke up before dawn.

After breakfast, Yan Qing sang again.

Gu Li was worried about his injuries and wanted to stop him, but he didn't listen at all.

At the moment, the conditions are bad, and the dressing cannot be changed, but fortunately it is winter, and if it is summer, the wound will definitely be infected.

Yan Qing sang for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, because his voice was dumb, he didn't sing again.

Unexpectedly, not long after breakfast, someone outside shouted, "Hey, why don't you sing today?" Sing it again! ”

Gu Li was stunned, there were still people who were addicted to listening?

Yan Qing smiled, and replied in a hoarse voice: "My voice is broken, I can't sing anymore, can Your Excellency give you a bowl of water to drink?" ”

The people outside scolded something in a low voice, but still said, "Wait." ”

A moment later, in the small window, someone brought a bowl of water.

Yan Qing drank the water and began to sing.

After singing the song, the person outside actually commented again: "Your broken voice is not as good as the previous singing." ”

"If you still want to hear it, can you do me a little favor?" Yan Qing said unhurriedly.

"What's going on with you?"

"I need some herbs to cure my throat, they are all ordinary herbs that can be found on the roadside, can you pick some for me?"

No one outside answered.

After a long while, a voice sounded, "What do you want?" ”

Yan Qing smiled and described all the herbs he needed.

Gu Li suddenly understood his intentions.

The herbs he described were not just for the throat, but for most of them for the treatment of trauma.

He was using his singing voice in exchange for medicine to heal his wounds.

Caught in such a predicament, he was able to come up with such a way, Gu Li couldn't help but sigh.

"You can also do medicine?" Gu Li asked.

The herbs he had just described were all very effective. If you don't know medical science, you can't know it.

Yan Qing replied with a smile: "A little clear." ”

Gu Li didn't doubt his words at all, a person like him who was well-read and could never forget, even if he didn't specialize in studying, it was reasonable that he could understand some medical theories.

About half an hour later, the herbs that Yan Qing needed appeared in the small window.

Gu Li hurriedly took it, picked up a few for him to chew, and crushed the rest and applied it to his wound.

Without a bandage, she tore a clean strip of cloth from the hem of her skirt and bandaged his wound.

Yan Qing didn't forget about the people outside, and said loudly to him: "Thank you, Your Excellency, I hope tomorrow's singing will satisfy you." ”

There was a faint echo outside.

The next day, after breakfast, Yan Qing sang again, and after singing a song, he asked for some herbs again.

After four or five days of this, his injuries were almost healed.

That day and night, five or six more people were brought into the room. However, before Gu Li and them could get to know each other, these people were taken out along with the batch that had been sent before, and never came back.

Gu Li was scared in her heart and asked, "Are those people all killed?" ”

Otherwise, how could he have gone out and never returned? Also, they were all locked up in this room, and they came first, why did everyone else take them away, leaving the two of them alone?

"It's not." Yan Qing replied.

He smiled lightly, his eyes were calm and unfazed.

"Where did that go?" Gu Li asked.

"Went to a new town or village." Yan Qing replied.

"How do you know?"

"Among those people, there are people from all walks of life, and most of them are leaders in the industry. There are men and women, all of whom are not very old. Presumably, the Gaochang people expanded their territory and built a new city there, so they sent these people there. Yan Qing explained.

It's not hard to guess that the Gaochang Kingdom is limited by the terrain and it is difficult to expand its territory, so it has always been poor, otherwise they would not have taken the risk of attacking Nanyun.

Now that Nagumo is in their pocket, they are naturally in a hurry to build a city in order to consolidate their rule.

Or maybe they've slaughtered someone in a city and need to send someone from somewhere else to fill it.

In either case, young men and women from all walks of life need to be recruited from elsewhere and sent to where they are needed.

This kind of thing often happens in times of war.

Three hundred years ago, when he was alone in the world, he did this kind of thing.

After his explanation, Gu Li roughly understood.

"But why did they leave us alone?" Gu Li was surprised.

Yan Qing didn't answer her this question, and now is not the time to answer.

In the evening, the man who guarded them came again with a basket to bring dinner.

However, this time, before leaving, he suddenly said to Yan Qing: "You, come out with me." ”

Gu Li suddenly became nervous and grabbed his sleeve violently.

She was afraid, afraid that he would be like the people who had been taken before, and that he would never come back.
